Well, I did it.
I have rewritten the voicebox script to support SAPI4.
There might still be some quirks, but now I have generated talk files for my mp3 files using Eloquence SAPI4 and folder structure.
Let me know if you are interested.

Yes, the line is the correct one.
In order to use SAPI4 instead of SAPI5 in the voiceutils.vbs script, you must make some changes to the routines.
Unfortunately I don't have time to rewrite the SAPI5 routine to support SAPI4.

However, you should be able to find some documentation on SAPI4 and SAPI5 at Microsoft's homepage.

2. As far I know Eloquence isn't available as standalone SAPI5 voice. But you can modify voiceutils.vbs to use SAPI4 instead of SAPI5.

Best Wishes,

Peter Herngaard

Subject: Sapi 5 voices

Hi I have downloaded the voice box script and selected Microsoft Mary from the control panel as the computers default voice.

I have a few questions.

1. Can I speed up or slow down my talking mp3 clips in rockbox by adjusting the speed of the default voice in the control panel, and if this doesn't work is there another way to speed up or slow them down?

2. Is it possible to get eloquence as a Sapi 5 voice or, is there any free Sapi 5 voices that I could get apart from Microsoft Mary Sam and Mike to create my talking mp3 clips for rockbox, and if so where would I get them from?
